EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian-era photograph, dating back to 1863, showcases an intriguing underwater tableau featuring three distinct species of goby fish: the Broad-Finned Goby (Gobius biocellatus), Tail-Spotted Goby (Gobius attenuatus), and One-Spotted Goby (Gobius unipunctatus). The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the marine world during the 1860s. The Broad-Finned Goby, identified by its large, broad pectoral fins, is a small, brownish fish with a speckled body and a distinctive black spot at the base of its tail. The Tail-Spotted Goby, with its slender body and vibrant markings, boasts a series of dark spots along its tail, giving it an eye-catching appearance. Lastly, the One-Spotted Goby, as its name suggests, sports a solitary black spot on its side, near the base of its tail fin. These fascinating creatures, native to the Mediterranean and Black Seas, were likely collected for scientific study during this era of exploration and discovery. The photograph serves as a testament to the curiosity and passion for the natural world that characterized the Victorian age. The intricate details of their markings and fin structures can be observed in this stunning, well-preserved image, offering a glimpse into the diverse marine life that continues to captivate us today.
